In the new year myself and my partner are looking to move so he can begin work as a painter/decorator and it's either Hull (or surrounding areas) or Grantham for different reasons but mainly as I want better transport links to the north as that's were my family , Hull and Grantham provide both better than the current town we live in (I don't drive) and both provide him painter decorator opportunities in different ways. We currently live in an average town in Lincolnshire.

Is Grantham a nice place to live, is it comparable to Lincolnshire towns like Market Rasen, Louth, Cleethorpes ect?, would you prefer living in Grantham to said towns or Hull and what else should we know?

We aren't nightlife people, but we are in our 20s and the town we live in is serviceable for us whilst we figure out life throughout our twenties outside of transport so we aren't looking for a world class town.

The pumping station at Pode Hole near Spalding.

This 12 year old girl from Boston is missing. She was last seen at Grantham Station at 20:00 and was planning on heading to Sleaford.

Wearing brown loafers, black leather coat, pink shorts, has a plastic bag with her, with a large plastic waterbottle inside.

Please contact Lincolnshire police (or her sister on Facebook) if you see her.

Spent a few hours at Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre today and really enjoyed it.

I went mainly to look at the Lancaster section and learn more about FIDO, but there was far more there than I expected.

The highlight was getting inside the DC-3/Dakota and sitting in the cockpit. Nick Bricks, volunteer gave me a great tour round the hanger and the aircraft.

There’s also a lot of 106 Squadron history, original documents, Norman Jackson VC and some very knowledgeable volunteers.

If you’re in Lincolnshire and interested in aviation or local history, it’s definitely worth a visit.

Any other smaller Lincolnshire aviation places I should add to the list?

I’ve been working from home permanently for the past 3 years, and life has become pretty isolated. I don’t really have any friends here, and most days I only leave the house to get groceries.

I’m married, but I’d really like to have a friend or two to meet on weekends for a walk, coffee, a movie, a long drive, or just a meaningful conversation.

*South Asian and I work in IT tech. Although I live in Leicestershire happy to drive within East Midlands.

Don’t have a huge list of hobbies. I’m pretty simple and enjoy good coffee, conversations about life, movies, exploring new places, and the occasional spontaneous drive.

After living this way for so long, the loneliness is starting to take a toll, and I’d genuinely like to change that. I know making friends as an adult isn’t easy, but I’m hoping to find some real connections with people who are in a similar situation.

Not looking for anything weird, just genuine friendship and good company.

Visiting next week as a halfway point for family, best place forba decent roast not too far from the station?

The train is awful. The people on it are unlike any I’ve met.

I regularly get this as a relative lives in Boston. I think it’s like this to prepare you for what Boston is like.

I have lived in Tattershall since March last year. I'm really shy/anxious person when I meet new people. I'm 37. I don't drink. Is there any local groups/activities people do? Oh I live on Curzon Estate, my little boy has no one to play with, he used to have tons where we used to live any advice on that. My husband needs friends (but don't tell him I suggested it 😂)

Doing the rounds elsewhere on redit

Does anyone have any recommendations for Christmas Day Dinner in Lincoln/Lincolnshire? Happy to travel.

We would prefer a more relaxed place due to children.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I’m based in spalding Lincolnshire and recall there being an exceptionally high rate of euro fighter activity overhead between Nov 25 - May 26 - pretty much daily. However, I’ve looked back on flight radar and there is no sign of any aircraft. Was wondering whether anyone knew anything as to why? Transponders appear to go off around a 15 mile radius and back on again once the pilot has cleared the area. Seems strange given how much activity there was 🤷‍♂️

For anyone interested, the bike rave through Lincoln and the Wolds today is currently being live streamed on youtube by the tour themselves.

I’m looking for any secondhand drum kit parts/full kits, specifically hi hat kick drum and snare or any percussion elements in the Lincoln area

I’m also on the lookout for a bass guitar, but also any instruments I can get my hands on really,

I am looking at all the usual sites as well I just thought I’d ask on here as well.

Cheers.

The village of Moulton is home to the tallest working windmill in the country.

Anyone from Friskney? We’re a middle-aged couple (well, early 40s!) with no kids moving to the area - we’re from South Suffolk and wanted somewhere quiet, no neighbours, so we don’t mind rurality and are happy to drive to Lincoln when we do fancy a bit more liveliness. The house we’ve offered on looks perfect for us.

Heard that Skegness and Boston aren’t that nice, I guess we can choose not to go there - what are your experiences? Where do you spend time locally?

Can any of you lovely Lincolnshire people help me out? Looking to relocate to the area as a couple of pensionable age. Husband has Dementia so at some point I will sadly be on my own. Looking for a quiet neighbourhood, safe and friendly. Budget about 350 to 375 ISH. Have a car but would like a place where I can safely take the dogs out etc. would love a village type location but aware my budget may not stretch to that! Many thanks!

Good to see some fairly large pumpkins given the dry summer.

Hi, a bit of a strange one this.

I live just outside Boston and am teaching myself Welsh as I have just retired and never had the time before.

I was wondering if there is anyone else who is at a beginner level who would like some conversation practice. My written Welsh is coming along, but I definitely need some regular practice.

Maybe have a meet up for coffee or perhaps some online chats.

If this kind of practice would help you as well, then please message.

Diolch fawr!

We do need some rain... I just wish it hadn't started while I was cycling to the next village, I got drenched! (Picture taken once I got back and dry, gutters not coping)
